When do teacher rates come out for Dolphin rooms for April 2005??

[D L and K's Mom]

I called the Dolphin and they told me that the rates and availability were not out yet for April 2005. YIKES. This makes me a bit nervous as we have always made our ressies there months in advance. Is this something new? Is it becasue it is 2004 and we are trying to make ressies for 2005?? Has anyone had teacher rates in April?? Thanks for the info in advance.

When we stayed in April 2003, we booked the teacher rate around Halloween. It was Easter, as well as our school vacation.

I would call back and try again. I've already booked the Swan for August 2005 using the nurse's discount. Of course, it may be that the discounts are not available in April since it is Spring Break.

I guess I better call back. I am keeping my fingers crossed. This will be the first time my siste in law, brother in law and 2 nephews will be going to Disney World. We are all hoping to get teacher rates as we are all teachers. Thanks

Since my wife is a school teacher, I was wondering if the Swan was the only hotel that offers teachers discounts? Also what is the average discount for a teacher at this location? Trying to plan our next trip.

Thanks for your help

In the past I believe we have paid $129 for our room at the Dolphin. The room is beautiful and the location is GREAT. I called again and was told the hotle is 90% sold out for the dates we need so there will not be anyother teacher discounts given out......Im so sad....oh well Port Orleans here we come..

Thanks for the information D,L and K's, mom. That does seem like a deal.

Have a great day!!

It really is a great deal. Call EARLY!! Make sure your wife brings some type of ID identifying her as a teacher (paycheck stub, photo school Id, Teaching cert) They do ask for something. We have stayed there 3 times with Teacher discount and it is great!! Good luck

Based on what I am reading, the Swan/Dolphin seem to be adopting some of the Disney theory. Discounts are being released later and are not as great as in past years. (People have posted the Nurse/Teacher rate at $149 for example)
